At the crack of the first dawn,
amidst the banter and the clatter;
We bid adieu to another year
and open a new chapter.
But as we exchange greetings and forwards
With our kith and kin, and friends on the web;
The heavy heart sighs and concedes
the lacuna of few loved ones and their familiar hubbub.
As we look forward to cross over from the virtual periphery,
A mixed bag of angst, fear and caution tugs at the heartstrings;
Memories of the year spent in solitude and simplicity
Refuse to leave us unfettered and cheery.
While we may not see the light yet at the end of the tunnel
Let us remember how far we have swum along the tide;
Let us not allow the gloom to dwarf our hope, faith and belief
That the new dawn may steer us closer to the shores of love and life.
